Individual Crisis Intervention and Resource-Oriented Support in Nature
Not every child benefits from an inpatient setting or group care during an acute crisis. Some children need a safe environment, a reliable caregiver, and sufficient time to rebuild security, self-regulation, and trust.
With our intensive social pedagogical setting, we offer time-limited, individually tailored one-on-one support in nature for children and adolescents with increased support needs.
This service is particularly aimed at social services, guardianship agencies, child and adult protection authorities, schools, and institutions when a viable and professional solution is required at short notice.
Suitable for children and adolescents with
- post-traumatic stress disorder or complex traumatic experiences
- emotional crises
- overwhelmed in the school or family environment
- high support needs
- difficulties with emotion regulation
- tendencies to withdraw or run away
- social withdrawal or low self-efficacy

Approach
Nature creates a slower-paced and low-stimulus environment that allows children to reconnect with their own resources.
Our focus is not on deficits, but on relationships, safety, trust, and strengthening existing abilities.
Each intervention is individualized, trauma-sensitive, and resource-oriented.
Cooperation
Before every deployment, a thorough clarification of the assignment takes place.
This includes, among other things:
- Medical history interview
- Risk assessment
- Crisis and emergency planning
- Defining the objective
- Medical information
- Informed consent forms
Throughout the entire support process, there is the opportunity for close communication with the case management agency.
For Clients

- Crisis Intervention
- Bridging Setting
- Relief Service
- Building Relationships

Each intervention is individually planned and tailored to the child’s situation and the social services’ mandate.
